Last Lap: Is 30 Seconds To Mars’s New Single About Sex Choking?!?!

Why does Psyhave to rewrite his follow-up to “Gangnam Style”? What does Drake have to do with college basketball? This, plus who is One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson’s celebrity crush?

Jared Leto and his 30 Seconds To Mars bandmates have had to set the record straight about their new single, “Up In The Air”. Apparently, it’s not just about erotic asphyxiation. It’s also about becoming “the self-actualized version of yourself.” But what if the best version of me is into sex choking, huh? [MTV News]

Korean pop star Psy has to rename his follow up single to “Gangnam Style” in order to avoid insulting Arabs. The single was originally going to be called “Assarabia,” or “Assaravia”, a South Korean slang term for thrills, but now the title and many of the song’s lyrics have to be rewritten to be politically correct.

During on an onstage twitter Q&A, the lads of One Direction were quizzed on who they’d invite to dinner.
